Dornier 28 Survey Aircraft

[EGCA]

Can any kind soul help with some information regarding a Dornier 28 survey aircraft that flew from Oxford to the Aberystwyth are yesterday (26th) afternoon please?
The aircraft was in the Aberystwyth area for around one and a half hours, its "profiles" being flown from 500ft up to 10,000ft.

Just curious to know who operates the aircraft, and what sort of survey work it undertakes, eg photo, seismic, radar etc? I suspect civil work, not military.

Callsign was "Science zero-one"

Thanks

If it was red, white and black, it could have been D-IBUF, a long way from home!

It would have been D-CALM a Dornier 228 operated by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and based at Oxford.

Lots of info on their website.

If it was red, white and blue, it was D-CALM.:)
